Week 596

Marcus and I went to the Pullman Historic Museum for some education and model trains...

Before we left, Denise (the wife of Marcus)
made me a beautiful grilled cheese sandwich.
Thank you, Denise!

In Chicago, here's the Exhibit Hall where the model
trains would be running.

Marcus with the conductor
from the Polar Express
(aka Tom Hanks)

This model train set up is provided by the model
train club where Marcus is a member.

The small scenes along the tracks are produced
and made by Marcus

The directional signals tell the engineers whether to
GO, SLOW, or STOP.

We liked this display of the Pullman Progress
from 1859 to 1956.

Since we're at the museum, I thought I should capture
some of the historical moments of the Pullman family.

Although George Pullman took great care of his
employees, they still decided the best option at
this point in history was to STRIKE.

More timeline information...

This is the club that Marcus is a member in South Elgin.

I bought this poster for Tom Stover since his passenger
terminal includes a Pullman maintenance facility.
